A new transit-oriented development is on the way in Carrollton with office, hotel and retail space.
The $300 million Carrollton Gateway development is planned along Interstate 35E at Broadway and Dickerson streets.
Local developer Namhawk LLC is building the project, starting with a six-story, 325-unit apartment block with retail and restaurant space on the ground floor.
A 150,000-square-foot office building is planned in the second phase.
The Carrollton Gateway mixed-use project is across the street from DARTs Trinity Mills commuter rail station.
Ratliff Group LLC will be the manager for the development, and Page Architects designed the first phases of the project and the master plan.
Construction is set to begin later this year.
The first phase apartment community will include a fitness center, a third floor terrace, a pool with cabanas and a coworking and meeting space.

UPTOWN A parking lot that for years served patrons of the Uptown Theatre and other entertainment venues will be redeveloped into a five-story apartment building.
Developer JAB Realty is seeking a building permit to begin turning the parking lot at Lawrence and Magnolia avenues into a five-story, 54-unit apartment building with ground-floor retail space, city records show. The project is a transit oriented development, meaning it can offer fewer than the citys required number of parking spaces because of its proximity to major public transit lines.
A building permit has yet to be approved, city records indicate. The development would replace a parking lot behind the Uptown Theatre that has been around for nearly 60 years, according to Uptown Update.
Chicago-based JAB Realty bought the parking lot last year for $3.45 million, property records show.
Little else is known about the planned development, however. The developer is not seeking a zoning change as the propertys current zoning allows for high-rise housing. That means the project does not require aldermanic approval, like many developments that require zoning changes.
Ald. Matt Martins office only learned of the development proposal after a 47th Ward staffer saw construction signage at the site. Josh Mark, Martins director of development and infrastructure, said he then searched the propertys address in building permit databases, and then asked City Hall staff for help learning more. The developer is using the address 4806 N. Magnolia Ave., which previously was not used for the property, complicating the search, Mark said.
As-of-right building highlights a dichotomy in Chicagos development approval process, Mark said.
Either [aldermen] have veto power and full say, or we have zero power, Mark said.
Renderings of the development have not yet been made public, Mark said. A representative for JAB Realty did not respond to a request for comment Monday.
Once built, the building would neighbor the Uptown Theatre, which is undergoing a $75 million renovation that would make the long-dormant theater the center of Uptowns reinvigorated entertainment district. After years of fits and starts, work on the theater renovation is scheduled to ramp up this year, Ald. James Cappleman (46th) previously said.
JAB Realtys project is just the latest large-scale apartment project planned for Uptown and it isnt the only one where a parking lot property will be repurposed for residential use.
A few blocks east of the JAB site, Cedar Street is working to turn another long-time parking lot off Lawrence Avenue into an 84-unit rental complex. Closer to the lakefront, developers are seeking to redevelop a parking lot at the former Immaculata High School campus into a 23-story senior living center.

OAK RIDGE, Tenn. City Manager Mark Watson told a crowd of about 50 people last week that construction will begin on a line of five stores in the next couple of weeks at the Main Street Oak Ridge development.
OAK RIDGE, Tenn. City Manager Mark Watson told a crowd of about 50 people last week that construction will begin on a line of five stores in the next couple of weeks at the Main Street Oak Ridge development.
The stores, as stated on developer RealtyLinks website, will include Five Below, a discount store. The other four stores are not identified.
Watsons announcement came during a talk at the League of Women Voters Lunch with the League meeting which took place Tuesday, March 3.
The line of stores, proposed by RealtyLink, has faced its share of controversy. Among other issues, citizens have criticized it for closing off a previous entrance to the development from South Rutgers Avenue which had a roundabout.
However, Watson spoke of the five upcoming businesses and the development as a sign of progress.
We all remember the black hole in the center of our community, Watson said regarding the vacant spaces at Oak Ridge Mall in its last days.
At an earlier meeting of the Oak Ridge Industrial Development Board, Watson said the transfer date for the new businesses will be in August.
Itll move pretty fast during this time, he said.
Watson said the contractor is Vanoy Construction, which he described as the folks that knocked down the old Sears Building, also at the Main Street Oak Ridge site.
The five new stores fit with Watsons general theme about change in Oak Ridge.
He described the current South Illinois Avenue shopping center which includes Aldi, Panera, Dos Bros, Aubreys, Fast Pace Urgent Care and Aspen Dental as formerly just a grassy lot that now is jam packed with users.
Watson spoke positively about recent and upcoming changes in the city during his time as manager, including the new Senior Center, new fountain in the center of Jackson Square, new housing for the International Friendship Bell, and residential developments like The Preserve at Oak Ridge, formerly Rarity Ridge.
He also spoke of several developments in the future including the new Water Treatment Plant, renovations to Scarboro Park and the new Oak Ridge Schools Preschool.
Applewood Apartments
Watson spoke positively about the demolition of the Applewood Apartments on West Hunter Circle, East Hunter Circle and Hillside Road, which were in violation of several city codes. He described working with the owner as an obstacle.
Today the old site is ready for development. Unfortunately it still has the same owner, he told the crowd. That owner, although Watson did not mention him by name, is Joe Levitt.
Vacant buildings
An audience member asked Watson about vacant retail buildings.
Watson said the city can take some vacant buildings owners to court for not upgrading their buildings. For example, he said, the city is currently looking at an old Chinese restaurant site that was not inhabitable.
When the market changes, youll begin to see some new things happen, he said.
Data Center, test track
Watson spoke about a future data center either at the Heritage Center or the Horizon Center. He said there had been inquiries over the last five years, including one the city is negotiating now. During an interview, when asked about the low number of jobs data centers generate, Watson explained the data center would generate new property tax revenue for the city.
Also at the meeting, Watson touched on another Horizon Center project, a proposed motorsports complex and test track. City IDB Chairman David Wilson is still negotiating the projects details and the IDB will also have to agree to sell the land. At the meeting, however, Watson did give some details about the proposal. He said people would use it for some testing of cars and some recreation.
This is not Bristol, he said, referencing the Bristol Motor Speedway. Were not talking 100,000 people coming to watch a race. He also said the project wont sear the landscape with total tree clearing.
Main Street Lofts
Another development Watson talked about to the League of Women Voters was the Main Street Lofts apartment development at the former American Museum of Science and Energy site. The project will involve demolishing the old building to build the apartments.
Watson has said there have been continued delays with the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development concerning the development.
Well continue to push that along, he recently told the IDB.

A San Antonio developer is starting work this month on nearly 300 luxury apartments in northern Bexar County.
Embrey Partners LTD is building the complex, a mix of one-, two- and three-bedroom units, on U.S. 281 just outside Hill Country Village.
We worked closely with officials from Hill Country Village to ensure that our community concept plan would fit the context of the adjacent neighborhood, Jimmy McCloskey, executive vice president for development, said in a statement.
On ExpressNews.com: Owner of former Lone Star Brewery complex wants at least $13.5 million for property
The firm bought land in the area last month, deed records show. Much of the property is outside the city limits, and Embrey has an agreement with the Hill Country Village requiring it to pay an annual fee of more than $40,000 in lieu of taxes.
Embrey also will apply for permits from the city and follow its landscape ordinance, Mayor Gabriel Durand-Hollis said.
We felt that it was a win-win, he said. They stay in the extraterritorial jurisdiction rather than be subject to our city taxes, but its still a lower fee than if they went into San Antonio.
Rents at the complex, dubbed the Estates at Hill Country Village, will range from $1,200 to $2,500 per month. Embrey declined to disclose the cost of the project.
Residents are expected to begin moving in during the second quarter of 2021 and construction to wrap up in early 2022.
Embrey is known for building upscale apartments in Texas and other states. In San Antonio, the developer has built complexes at the Pearl, near the Rim and on the far West Side.
On ExpressNews.com: Terramark building mixed-income apartment complex on near West Side
The company is working on a mixed-use development with luxury apartments and office space near Alamo Heights thats expected to be finished in fall 2021. Embrey plans to move its headquarters there, taking about half of the office space and leasing out the rest.
The firm also is teaming with Area Real Estate, a San Antonio developer led by David Adelman, to demolish several self-storage buildings near downtown and construct apartments and office, retail and commercial space. The plans also call for removing several billboards that have long been viewed as an eyesore.
Construction is expected to start this spring and take roughly a year, Adelman said in November.

Treasure Coast Newspapers Published 4:00 a.m. ET March 11, 2020
Would-be Centennial Place architect Andres Duany wants to convert towering "Big Blue" into a conference center. He doesn't understand Vero. Height restrictions have given our town an envied tree canopy. We want to keep it that way. "Big Blue" must go.
Stephen Madeline, Vero Beach
Gil Smart's Feb. 26 column about the Stuart Springtree development is factually erroneous and poorly reasoned. Smart incorrectly described the proposed project as "a 280-town home plan on 13.5 acres along U.S. 1." The project actually consists of 270 or 280 "resort style" apartments in seven four-story buildings. No workforce or affordable housing units are proposed.
The property was annexed by the city in 2017. It is surrounded by single-family homes and mobile homes that have been around for decades. The developer wants to change commercial zoning like the zoning on other properties along Federal Highway to multi-family residential zoning. Only two of the seven proposed apartment buildings are on the highway. The others are farther back on the property near surrounding homes. Vehicles entering or leaving the project will use the existing neighborhoods' entry drives, adding an estimated 1,500 trips a day.
As a resident of a single-family neighborhood in Stuart, should I worry that the city will approve a four-story apartment building on the vacant lot up the street? Should residents of existing neighborhoods outside the city worry that Stuart will annex adjacent properties and destroy their neighborhoods by changing the development pattern and rules to benefit developers and city coffers?
Smart asks what can be done when a property owner wants to build an incompatible development next door. The answer is simple: Work with the neighbors. Don't be a bully. Design your project in a way that will complement, not destroy, the character of existing neighborhoods.
We can protect our neighborhoods by using common sense in planning, designing, and approving new development. Good developers make good neighbors. Bad developers destroy our quality of life and community character.

Sorry, Gil Smart, but you completely missed the mark in your March 4 column declaring that the Jensen Beach Boulevard widening/resurfacing project is the most annoying road construction project on the Treasure Coast.
I submit that the Kanner Highway widening project tops the list of most annoying. First we suffered through almost three years (2016 to 2019) of widening Kanner Highway from three to six lanes between the I-95 Interchange and Monterey Road.
Now those of us who live south of the I-95 Interchange are suffering through another projected two years (2019 to 2021) of widening Kanner Highway from two lanes to four lanes between I-95 and Pratt Whitney Road (CR-711). Were currently enduring the fourth year of construction between us and Downtown Stuart.
At present the Florida Club turning lanes have been eliminated. The entrance to the Florida Club is almost totally obscured and impossible to find at night. The Florida Club entrance is a rear-end collision waiting to happen for those attempting to make a left turn into the club.
Karl Saal, Stuart
Another year has passed without answer to the basic question on claims of pay inequities. Suzanne Jones March 1 letter claims that working women and racial minorities are victims of sex- and race-based discrimination, and that women are paid only 80 cents for every dollar paid to a man.
The question, again, is why a single sane employer would employ a man if he or she had to pay a 25 percent premium over what a female employee could be paid for exactly the same or comparable work? Clearly, employers would not do so and many men would be unemployed, priced completely out of the labor market. Is it at all possible that factors other than misogyny and racism may influence pay disparities in the United States?
Jim Trout, Sebastian
I do not want Bernie Sanders as the Democratic candidate for president of the United States. I don't like the way he talks. I don't like his socialistic agenda. I don't believe some of his statements are accurate. I don't like the fact that he won't release his doctors' records. You can pay people enough to write what you want them to write, so letters from three doctors are not the same as the medical records. He has had a heart attack.
Being president of the U.S. is a very stressful job. Electing a person like Bernie Sanders will create upset like we had with the election of President Trump, but in a different way.

Items like hand sanitizer and anti-bacterial wipes was in short supply in many stores in Maysville Sunday after Kentuckys first documented case of COVID-19 or coronavirus was reported Friday from a county adjacent to the Buffalo Trace Area.
A Harrison County resident was the first person in the commonwealth to have a confirmed case of the virus, health officials said. A second case in the same county was confirmed Sunday, according to state officials. Two others were reported in Fayette and Jefferson counties.
According to information from Harrison Memorial Hospital in Cynthiana, it has had screening measures for the virus in place since early January as mandated by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. All patients are screened for the potential risk.
The patient who has the confirmed case of COVID-19 visited the hospitals ER with flu-like symptoms. At that time, the patient did not meet Kentucky Department of Public Health health screening criteria and was treated for the flu. When the patient did not improve, the patient returned to the hospital, more testing was completed and the state health department notified. Once again, KDPH determined the patient did not qualify for testing. Despite the states determination, HMH clinicians made the decision to admit the patient to the hospital, where the patient was placed into a negative pressure isolation room. From there, the patient was transferred to the University of Kentucky Chandler Medical Center in Lexington where treatment continues.
Several employees of HMH who came in contact with the patient before isolation measures were taken have been advised to self isolate, and, according to news reports, they are following CDC guidelines. At least one of those employees is a Robertson County health provider, according to information from the Buffalo Trace Health District.
The first case of COVID-19 is a resident of Harrison County. As a precautionary measure, people who came into contact with the patient, including a Robertson County healthcare professional at Harrison Memorial are being asked to self isolate. Isolating people with known contact is a way to stop the spread of the virus. The risk for Robertson Countians is low, according to BTHD.
In response to the case, Harrison County Schools will close for at least a week and use non-traditional instruction days for that time.
HMH and area nursing homes are restricting visits and several churches in the Cynthiana area cancelled Sunday services.
In Maysville, a meeting of community stakeholders is set to take place this week, according to Allison Adams. director of the BTHD.
I want you to know your health department staff is working closely with our community partners to quickly respond should we encounter a case of COVID-19 in Mason and/or Robertson counties, Adams said. She is enlisting the publics health to keep everyone safe and healthy, she said.
Everyone can do their part in response to this emerging public health threat. I ask everyone to increase your everyday preventative actions to help stop the spread of germs and if you are sick please stay home, she said.
Meadowview Regional Medical Center is also prepared to deal with the virus, officials said.
Meadowview Regional Medical Center is committed to providing the highest quality care and ensuring the safety of our patients, employees, providers, volunteers and visitors, said Joe Koch, chief executive officer. We are continuing to work closely with Buffalo Trace District Health Department and following guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to ensure our hospital is prepared with the appropriate plans to detect, protect and respond should anyone in our community contract or be exposed to the novel coronavirus (COVID19).
Symptoms of COVID-19 include a mild to severe respiratory illness with symptoms of fever, cough and shortness of breath.
State officials suggest residents:
Get a flu shot.
Wash hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. If soap and water are not available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer.
Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth with unwashed hands.
Avoid close contact with people who are sick.
Stay home when you are sick.
Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue and then properly dispose of it.
Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces.
While Kentuckians risk of getting the virus is still low, a new state hotline 1-800-722-5725 was announced to help Kentuckians who have questions or need help.
If Kentuckians have a fever or cough, or need guidance, they should call the hotline. If Kentuckians are having a medical emergency, they should seek help immediately and go to the emergency room.
Kentuckians can visit kycovid19.ky.gov and cdc.gov/coronavirus for up-to-date information.

Calgarys defensive depth has been put to the test whilethe Flames scratch and claw to maintain playoff position.
Since the NHL all-star break, it seems when one big-minute man draws back into the lineup after an injury, another goes down.
Add in the acquisition ofa pair of defencemen at the Feb. 24 trade deadline and the Flames have had ablue line in flux.
Noah Hanifin is the latest to deal with a malady. He left Sundays 5-3 loss to the Vegas Golden Knights in the first period and did not return with an undisclosed upper body.
After 19 games sidelined with a lower-body injury, Travis Hamonic participated in a full practice Tuesday. He was injured just fourdays aftercaptain and Norris Trophy winner Mark Giordano damagedhis right hamstring.
Out 10 games, Giordanoreturned to action Feb. 25 a day after the Flames traded for reinforcements Derek Forbort and Erik Gustaffson.
Calgary has gone 9-6-1 since Giordano was injured Feb. 4
Defencemen are always at a premium in our league, Calgary head coach Geoff Ward said Tuesday. A couple years ago, it used to be right-shot defencemen and now its defencemen.
You need some depth in the organization at that position and were seeing why right now for us.
We feel weve got an awful lot of good depth at that position.
Hamonic might playThursday against the New York Islanders, butWard wasnt sure if Hanifin would.
I dont think hes going to be long term, but were taking that a day at a time, the coach said.
Calgary (36-27-7) was third in the Pacific Division three points up on the Vancouver Canucks, who wereat home to the Isles on Tuesday night and had two games in hand on the Flames.
Calgary was six points back of the division-topping Knights and three behind the Edmonton Oilers.
Even with Vancouvers No. 1 goaltender Jacob Markstrom injured andthe Arizona Coyotes more distant in Calgarys rearview mirror, the Flames still felt the precariousness of their playoff position.
A Canucks surge would drop the Flames into a logjam of teams jockeying for the two wild-card berths in the Western Conference.
Id be lying to you if I said you werent watchingscoreboards, you werent looking to see what teams are doing around the league and things like that, Hamonic said.
You win two, its a whole different landscape for you in the standings. You lose two, its a completely different landscape as well.
Hamonic was paired with T.J. Brodie and Giordano with Rasmus Andersson in Hanifins absenceTuesday.
Forbot and Gustaffson continued as a duo. Michael Stone skated alongside Oliver Kylington.
Forbes and Gusts have come in and fit in really, really well and have played really well since theyve been here so there hasnt been really any adjustment, Giordano said.
For me, Ive said the biggest difference if I play with Brodes, hes left handed and Razzies a right-handed defenceman. Thatsthe big adjustment as a defenceman where you put the puck really for your partner.
Hamonic says the competition for minutes when all defencemen are healthy makes the Flames a better team.
Wardssilver lining to the spate of injuries is the chance to exercise depth on defence in preparation for the post-season.
We take the stance that its an opportunity, the coach said. Weve seen a lot of defencemen in our lineup with over 20 minutes a night with a lot of different roles.
The most important lineup is the one thats on the ice. Were fortunate we have a lot of able-bodied defencemen that are good NHL players.
That gives us the opportunity totake some of these hits with our high-minute defencemenand were able to fill the holes pretty effectively.

Applications opened on March 4 with over 130 applications to date and 80 in the first tranche.
Shropshire Council said the successful applicants are due to receive the money this week.
Mark and Paula Edwards, owners of Chase Car Care Centre on Smithfield Road in Shrewsbury, applied to the fund after the floods forced them to shut for the past three weeks though they hope to open again soon.
The flood water entered their property on all sides, not just when the river burst its banks onto Smithfield Road, leaving them marooned alongside a number of other businesses in the area.
The couple said: It helps take some of the financial burden off us at this difficult time. The key thing for us is to get re-opened and get some of the trade back that has been lost. Frustratingly our loyal customers have had to go elsewhere but we hope they will return to us when we are back to normal.
Businesses affected by the flooding can still apply to the council by visiting the council website shropshire.gov.uk and following the link on the homepage.
Shropshire Council is able to give business recovery grants of up to 2,500 that can be awarded to small and medium-sized businesses that have been directly or indirectly impacted by the February 2020 flooding.
The council can also award 100 per cent business rate relief for a minimum of three months, or until the business is able to resume trading from the property if this is longer.
Steve Charmley, Shropshire Councils cabinet member for assets, economic growth and regeneration, said: We recognise how devastating the flooding impacts have been in parts of the county and how this is affecting our residents and businesses. We hope that the grants available will go some way to relieving some of the immediate pressures that theyre facing."
